Whisper Geranium

Hi all,
I have a card to show you today using one of the new Memory Box Whisper Print stamps. There are four stamps in the series and this one is called 'geranium'.

I love experimenting with stamps and this 'play' took me back years to when I first started stamping. First, I coloured the stamp with Marvey Le Plume pens (you can also use inks and paints in the same way) blending two different shades on both the petals and stalk. I then spritzed the stamp with water…I love this bit because varying the amount of water used gives different effects…so don’t be afraid to experiment (the first stamped images underneath the petals are nicely puddled!). I then pressed three images directly onto my card and left to dry (you could use a heat gun if you get impatient!). I repeated the process on a separate piece of card, this time just colouring the petals of the flower. When dry, I cut out the petals and decoupaged the flower heads. I was watching a fourth set Murray match when I stamped the second set of images so my eye was more on the ball than the stamping and I didn't quite do enough spritzing for the effect I wanted!

This is such a quick and easy technique to do and produces some lovely effects…so go create!

Recipe:

Stamp: Memory Box Whisper Print Geranium; Wild Rose Studio Tilly with Flowers (text stamp)

Card: Bazzill Fairy Dust; Personal Impressions Premium white

Tools: Whimsy Corner Die set; Memory Box Vivienne butterfly and Darla Butterfly; DooHickey Swirl and leaf

Embellishments: Berisfords 15mm white super sheer ribbon; The Hobby House mixed sized rhinestones; Ranger Stickles – Star Dust

Pink ribbon and background paper offcut from stash

Thanks for stopping by!

Oh, Christmas Tree...(and another give-away!)

Hi all,

I have a Christmas card to show you today...my first this year...and hopefully, the first of many to come! If it was January, I'd be making a resolution to get my Christmas cards made early to avoid needing to pop out to the shops at the last minute...so to coin Kerry's phrase...I'm trying to get ahead!

I've opted for a very simple card using a gorgeous Memory Box Flowering Christmas Tree die and combined it with the lovely Papermania 'At Christmas Time' papers that are currently in our sale! If you like your Christmases to be traditional, then these papers are for you...full of rich reds, holly greens and gold stars!

Recipe:

Dies: Memory Box Flowering Christmas Tree; Marianne Creatables Poinsettia (sorry sold out)

Papers: Papermania 'At Christmas Time'

Card: Craftwork Cards On the Edge Pack - Scalloped White; Bazzill cardstock

Embellishments: Berisfords Red satin ribbon; rhinestones; Stickles glitter - gold; Deco Arts Glamour Dust - gold (on poinsettia)

...and now on to some other news...we have another small give-away! Over the next 24 hrs (or so...offer ends at 8-00p.m. Thursday), we are giving away a Christmas digi stamp to five lucky winners...

All you have to do is:

** become a blog follower, if you're not one already

and

** leave us a comment below telling us what kind of Christmas cards you like to make.

Poppies and Tulips

Hi Liz here,
 with a bit of a change this week as I've made a couple of creations only using dies, no stamping which is very different for me lol,

The first one is a card which I think would be lovely for a thank you or get well card

I've used a  Memory Box Prim Poppy and Dancing tulips for the dies, Janet has sold out of the dancing tulip die but has the Tulip petals dies in, which finish off the look beautifully and are well worth getting I think,

Janet also has most of her gorgeous Memory Box dies on sale at the moment so check them out, I love them all lol,

I cut the dies using two main colours and layered them up using pinflair glue then when dry adding star dust Stickles to the edges,

the gorgeous bow is made using the 15mm white super sheer ribbon, I love these ribbons they tie beautifully,

My Second creation is a tag

For this I've used the Prim Poppy die and cut out three layers for the top one and two for the second and lower flowers, these I have layered up with pinflair glue slightly curling the top layer of the top one for a little extra depth and dimension,

to finish off I've used some of the beautiful 25mm white sheer ribbon and some gorgeous 3/8 May Arts lace too for again a little interest, my paper on this tag I distressed with my distress tool and finished off with some lovely pearls,

I hope you'll agree you get a very different look depending how you use them and I hope I may have given you a couple of ideas lol,

Items from The Stamp Basket

Memory Box ~ Prim Poppy and Dancing Tulips
Memory Box ~ Tulip Petals 

Prima paper ~ Fairy Belle

Hobby House ~ Ivory Pearls

15 and 25mm white ~ sheer ribbon

May Arts 3/8 off white ivory Lace

Hope I've given you some inspiration,
